re: Why is military spending ignored when its clearly the largest piece?

Military is forced welfare. Most people who had alternative options choose not to go into military. Its the government's way to subsidize the less fortunate without calling it welfare but we know the truth.

How many days were you in the military?

Something like 3/4 of the military-aged population isn't even eligible to get in the military because of criminal record, physical issues (obesity), or intelligence deficits.

And the military is not the largest piece of the federal budget. That would be Social Security and then Medicare.
